Definitions

  • FIG. 12 is a schematic cross sectional view of the air flow path of the dispensing device of FIG. 11;
  • the dispenser is shown generally by the character numeral 1 and includes a main housing 10 demarcating a interior cavity, a secondary housing 12 for selective dispensing valve means 13, 14, a pedestal 15 and a stanchion portion 16 extending vertically from near the rear of the pedestal so as to leave a front receiving cavity 17 allowing a recipient to be positioned to receive the food product from the device.
  • the front panel 19 of FIG. 2 has been omitted to better show the interior configuration within the housing 10.
  • the valve means 13, 14 may encompass various manual or mechanical actuated valves or pumping systems. Examples of very simple manual valves are "cloth-pin" style valves.
  • the cassettes 180, 183 which are in a dispensing mode are operatively connected to respective pumping assemblies 13, 14 with the dispensing tubes 210, 211 of the respective pouches being in an engaging configuration in the pumping assemblies 13, 14.
  • the remaining cassettes 181, 182 there are cassettes resting in a preheating mode; i.e., without having the tubes of their respective pouches connected to the pumping assemblies.
  • the guiding means may be omitted and the cassettes may occupy at best the available space within the housing and may simply be guided by adjacent cassettes and/or sidewalls 33, 34 and/or bottom and top walls 30, 31 of the housing without gaps being left therebetween.
  • Various other guiding means could be used as mechanical equivalents such as T-grooves or dove-tail assembly of the cassette with respect to the housing.
  • the guiding means may also encompass pair(s) of runners attached to the cassettes which are adapted to complementary fit guiding means such as rails of the housing.
  • the term "extensive" is used to designate the primary surfaces of the pouch which form the parts of the pouch which ends by relatively narrow sealed or folded edges.
  • the cassette 18 of FIG. 5 and 6 may also comprise a bottom wall 72 comprising at least a significant portion of slope 720 situated at the rear of an outlet opening 721 forming a passage for the fitment assembly 22 of the pouch.
  • the portion of slope 720 should preferably be inclined with respect to horizontal in the housing of an angle comprised between 5 to 15° so as to promote a better evacuation of the product while keeping a sufficient rear height of pouch which is not detrimental for the overall product capacity of the pouch.
  • FIG. 7 to 8 illustrate a preferred modes for producing heaters from the cassettes.
  • Heating of the cassette is preferably carried out by resistive heating elements 85.
  • the resistive elements may be integrated in the sidewalls 70, 71 and preferably, in all the walls 70 to 74 of the cassette.
  • the walls of the cassette may comprise a solid matrix of any suitable material which can repeatedly withstand temperatures up to about 100°C during an extensive period of time.
  • solid matrix it is meant any sort of homogeneous layer(s) or laminate(s) of supporting material to which are secured resistive element(s).
  • the heating elements may be wire(s), fibers, mat(s), woven or unwoven fabric(s), grid(s), etched foil(s) or any suitable resistive element(s).
  • the elements may be provided to the solid matrix in a variety of shapes such as continuous or discontinuous strand(s), strip(s), tube(s), patch(es), or any other suitable shapes.
  • the solid matrix is preferably a material that can be formed as a three dimensional member.
  • the material is preferably a highly thermal conductive metal such as aluminum, steel, stainless steel, copper or any other suitable metal including electrically insulated resistive elements.
  • the material matrix for the walls may also be made of shapeable or moldable materials such as heat resistant polymer materials.
  • each cassette 18 is supplied with heating elements to accomplish a two-mode heating.
  • Two-mode heating refers to the fact in one mode, the cassette is heated at a higher power level and in another mode, the cassette is heated at a comparatively lower power level.
  • the cassette may have two sets of resistive elements 850, 851 connected in parallel in the heating resistive circuit. While one set of heating element acts as the primary or maintenance heater 850, the second set would act as a "booster" heater 851. When the unit is switched “on” both the booster and the maintenance heaters are fed in electrical current and run on to rapidly heat the product in a preheating mode, from ambient or refrigerated state to a serve-able temperature.
  • the maintenance heater 850 When the product is heated to the serve- able temperature, e.g., 50-71°C, the maintenance heater 850 continues to be “on” while the booster heater 851 is switched “off by opening of the thermostat 860 so as to maintain an elevated holding temperature equal to the servable temperature or slightly lower; e.g. between 50 to 60°C.
  • An indicator light 861 can be coupled to the booster heater to indicate to the operator the cassette is in a heat-up phase with the booster heater "on".
  • a fuse 880 may also be provided to shut the circuit if the current exceeds a certain undesirable level.
  • the heat resistive element is terminated by a welded electrical contact portion 84 to make possible the connection to the electrical circuitry of the dispensing device.
  • the contact portion 84 is preferably directly plug-in to an electrical connection in the rear of the housing as a response to the sliding motion of the cassette within the housing.
  • the elevated temperature of serving must usually be adjusted above 140°F to comply with NSF standards for manual food and beverage dispensing equipment. Usually, the temperature variation will preferably not exceed + or - 8°F, even preferably + or - 5°F. However, it is advantageous to maintain temperature variations as low as possible in order to prevent formation of hot spots in the food product.
  • the heating and storage configuration of the invention meets this need as more accuracy may be obtained in the temperature control.
  • the connector may have a geometry such that pouch material is held away from the fitment outlet, keeping the pouch material from blocking the flow of product out of the pouch.
  • the fitment may also be sealed within the perimeter seals of the pouch, also allowing easy draining of product.
  • the outlet of the fitment when the pouch is in position between the side walls, becomes the lowest point of the pouch thus promoting a better evacuation of the flowable material.
  • the fitment may preferably be sealed in a position across the folded bottom edge of the pouch, thus, reducing the risks of wrinkles and consequently participating to a better evacuation of the food product.
  • Performing evacuation rates may be obtained according to the cassette and pouch configuration as described.
  • the pouch As the pouch remains in a standing position within a narrow profiled cassette, the pouch can empty uniformly without formation of bulky local mass. In the area of the fitment, since the product flows in the direction of the fitment and the direction of the film, the film cannot form wrinkles.
  • the narrow spacing between the supportive walls of the cassette also promote the good standing of the pouch thereby minimizing the risks of wrinkles and folds.
  • the evacuation of the pouch can approach 95%, even 98% by weight without need for the operator to manually squeeze the bag.
  • FIG. 12 shows how the flow paths may be generally divided to circulate in the loop circuit.
  • the partition line preferably horizontally oriented divides the cavity of the housing. Depending upon the location of the line with respect to the cassettes; i.e., its relative height, the division of the flow paths about the cassettes may be obtained only in one way or in the two ways. However, the configuration of such partition may also vary to accommodate various structures and/or shapes and specific constructions and/or mechanical constraints.
